feeling league savor third time year
This is my third year in the league and it's my first time in first place. It's feeling pretty good. I'm going to savor the moment.
backed bad entertainment good guy media respect talked trash worse
He's a good receiver. He talked the talk and he backed it up. All you can do is respect that. A lot of his trash talk is for entertainment and the media portrays it for something worse than it really is. He's really not a bad guy and out on the field, he's just out there having fun.
buffalo eat ice plus room sleep wings
The big plus for me is room service. Ice cream, buffalo wings and cookies, but a really big meal. I eat normal, and I usually sleep well.

He made some plays, we came up short on defense. That's the bottom line. There are no excuses. I'm not blaming the coaches or blaming the calls.

I thought Chris had it. The rule is a tie goes to the offense.

I like it a lot. That just goes to show the rapport we have with the coaches and they trust us enough to do something on our own that we recognize so we can make a play.

All defensive backs will have a game they would like to forget, but they will have to come back.

On Johnson's touchdown, it was a good catch on his part and a perfect throw.

I hate to lose. And when I do lose, I don't lose the lesson, I don't miss the message.
powerful mind tools
The mind is a powerful tool.
defense want offense
Defense is on the fly, it's reactive; you have to react to the offense. I have to prevent someone from doing something when they want to do it.

I definitely think moving around helped shape me and has helped me be a better player.

I like to compete. I think competition brings out the best in anybody.

I think everyone needs competition in life, whether it be myself, you, the President.
